The Biggest Loser Season 4 Premier aired last night.
I’ve been really excited for this show to start up again because it was such a big part of my own motivation to lose weight this year. I don’t know that it is completely realistic for the average person to lose as much weight as fast as they do on the show, but it is encouraging to watch. Of course they are going to lose much faster and bigger as they have really intense workouts and this is basically what they are doing for weeks on end. Meaning that they don’t have the distractions of "regular" life and can 100% focus on their weight loss, exercise and dieting.
For me, it has shown the value of focus and back in Dec. I had decided that weight loss/health goals would HAVE to be my #1 focus/goal for 2007…and so far it really has. I think sometimes you really do need this intense amount of focus on ONE big goal to get the momentum going.
I thought the show was great and I really look forward to this season. I love it that Alison Sweeney is the new host and I think she will be great! The show started with all of the contestants being dropped off in the middle of a desert. Yikes – what must they be thinking?!
Trainers, Bob Harper (Blue Team) and Kim Lyons (Red Team) then skydive to the ground to greet them. Pretty cool! The big twist this season is the make-up of a surprise Black Team – they were the ones not chosen by the original Blue and Red Team captains – who will be led by Jillian Michaels. They will secretly be training in the desert and meet up with the other teams a bit later in the show.
The season is off to a great start and I’m hoping that it will help with my own motivation as well as provide a source of good diet and exercise tips that I can follow from home as I continue with my own weight loss challenge.
